Demand for family fun leads to record revenues

The company, which operates 85 venues across the UK and Canada, reported a 7.1% increase in revenue for the year ending 30 September 2024, rising from £215.1 million to £230.4m. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation increased by 5.9% to £87.6m.

However, the firm saw a decline in profit before tax, with figures falling 5.2% year on year to £42.8m, causing its share price to drop nearly 7% in early trades.
